I think there is nothing wrong with the shoes, Tom sachs , Nikecraft , the activation.
Tom Sachs and Nike did a great Job designing the 3.0. and the activation is good.
If your a sneaker head and a Tom Sachs fan like i do, had the chance to grab one and have financial to buy the shoes and its your first Tom Sachs desing shoes, especially Marsyard. Its an instant cop in my book / you should get it !.
The shoe is a small part of a big picture that i was chasing, for me the shoe is only the condiment from my main meal / main goals. If i get it or not, actually it doesnt matter as much.
My main goal in taking part in Summer Camp is the experience that i mostly chase.
Second, is meeting the people i meet along the way (making new and spent time with old friend i know), Thirdly, is a learning curve of how they did their activation, thats the things that excites me most.Thats my goal and why i take part in this Summer Camp.
I was actually surprise I won. Knowing they took a chunk of my point stats from me on the morning of the day they send email to inform us winning. On that day, As i open my apps after i did my challenges on that day, I realise many of my point was gone from my stats, not as much as the day before. I click on my info stats, +99 point were deducted cause of "Post Season Adjustment " they reffer as the reason for the deductions. which i dont know what the meaning of it and it doesnt say clearly why they deducted that many points after the event is done. but as the event had past , i dont care as much and im ok with it + the apps inform " the shoe are all allocated to the winners " and doesnt say anything like I won. So I thought i didnt win at all. As i continue my day like any normal day. I finsih doing all the things i normaly did, I try to clean my email. Mind you, i didnt get any notification on my phone at all from Gmail. Usually if there is email, there will be push notification coming in. What i know, and on my day to day rituals, every 3 days i usually have to clean my email cause there were alot of spams usually. So, on that day, i try to clean it. l know my google account storage is nearly full and it helps to clear spam so i got more space in my Gmail / google storage account. While i clean my email. there were an email from Nikecraft. As i clicked it, it says I won. Im very surprise. I read the email and try to see how to clame it. (I never buy stuff from web/outside of indonesia- so im no expert in how to do buying things).But as i read, sadly it says, my country, Indonesia was not on the list of availablility to ship and it looks complicated with the payment andall. I was bumb out a bit. But.i know that was not my priority to begin with. As a person with a religious believe, i learn from my past experience, moment like this, I consider it as an abstract sign from above.
They can't send it to Indonesia, shows that its not for me to get,cause im neglecting what i need to do. How i see it, I need to focus more on important priority that i need to take care off , instead spending things for myself first. Its a sign that Allah wants me to use my financial that i have, that are not much at this time, but will mean alot to some people less fortunate to help others that really in need of miracles. cause someone need my help more then me buying shoes again just to fill my shoe room. If i get this shoe, the only one that can enjoy it only myself/ but if i help others that are in desperate need, they will appreciate it more cause their life might be dependening on it (example: they have not eaten for a few days or something , or they are sick and need meds, and if i dont help that someone, they might get more worst ) So with thats abstract sign from Allah, I change my perspective and focus my financial for a good cause first cause i know a few weeks before there is a privet matters that i cant spill publicly on my social media that needs my attentions and i neglected it and was getting worst. so i will not prioritize me first now.
Spiritually, I believe with Allah not giving me what i want, Allah help me not to make me fall or go to the wrong path, Instead, Allah protect me cause i do good deeds in return .Cause Allah have a better plans ahead for me that is much greater then me just enjoying materialistic stuff only. As Allah is the creator of heaven and earth, Allah know whats best for me then i know myself and i Trust Allah more with my faith. Its been proven Allah help me with miracles in my lifetime, specially last year and this year.. it opens my eyes more spiritually and im always amaze by Allahs miracles.
So with that, thats why i made the decision to not take the shoes this time, even though i already won.
I have to help others who need it more help then i do right now + in my mind i already got what im looking for, I shouldn't be more greedy and take all. I got the priceless part, which is the experience, the learning of the system, and meeting new friend and hang out with old friends along the summer camp and having fun doin it. i should leave some for others to be happy too right ! and may be with not getting the shoes , someone who needs that shoe more then i do , will be so happy that they can do good things for others too. As im getting older, that what im chasing more now days. it doesnt matter about the shoes as much. Not to disrespect Tom Sachs and Nikecraft with the Marsyard 3.0. the shoe is amzing. I still have many shoes in my shoe-room, and some even still deadstock and i have not wear it yet and still waitng for special occasion. And im greatfull i already have a few Tom Sachs Shoes in my shoe line ups.
Tom Sachs teach me as well passively, some of his philosophy made me wiser actually, specially
" Own less , Do more " & " The reward of good work is more work " It made me realize and open my eyes what the highest term of " appreciation" is. How i should see life in amore positive light. It's not add more material on what i already have to make me happy, but do more good things instead. and
the teaching of If you can do it, then work harder to achieve more.I believe and I hope, with me helping others first in peoples times of need + put my selfishness aside from buying more material for my own happyness. Allah see my kindess and give back more points for me, while im on this space ship so called Earth that are reaching to the end destination, so called "heaven". i hope, im not in the wrong ship that take me to the other directions " Hell. ".So with that mindset , thats why in the end i burn my entry and not get the shoes.
Im so greatfull and honor people wanna help me, im greatfull people took their effort and time an interes in me, check up on me and care. this is why i love the community and why i think its amazing.
its you guys who are nice and have hearts and kindness that deserve more, Im blessed + honor to be at your presents and as a friend once again. thats why i like meeting old and new friends and the bonding we had. This Tom Sachs Summer Camp activation, for me trensend more then just a shoe. What i see from the community, some inspire others, some mentor and educate for others to get better, some take care of one another. If there are bad people around, some protect and help inform each other in the community, so the community is positiv and all of us are safe and can handle it.I see that when i did the Summer Camp. All in all, its priceless experience that are priceless, the friendship and the unity is amazing. you guys are cool and amazing in my book. and thank you for even reaching out and want to help and even suggest on buying it for me. im truelly speechless.
i can only hope and pray all of you are in good health and please stay safe in this weird times lately in the world that are changing, kind people that have a heart is what the world needs..
ONCE AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND CONCERN... IM FINE AND IM DEEPLY APPRECIATE YOUR HEARTS AND GESTURE. I JUST NEED TO FOCUS MY FINANCIAL FIRST FOR A GOOD CAUSE , CAUSE THEY NEED IT MORE THEN I DO AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. I HOPE GOD GIVE ME MORE IN RETURN AND I CAN GET THE MARSYARD IN THE FUTURE
